History
Cuthbert William Johnson, born in Bromley on 21 September 1799, was an agricultural writer largely considered an authority on agricultural matters. He published several works including 'The Use of Crushed Bones as Manure'. He was a key player in the campaign which led to the passing of the Public Health Act in 1848, going on to be Chairman of the Croydon Local Board of Health from it's founding in March 1849 to September 1953 and again from May 1862 to March 1877. He died in Croydon on 8 March 1878.
